One of the lucky few

As many known, Coach creates a minimal amount of pieces for the blogger collabs. First, i missed out in the Cupcake & Cashmere collab and I wasn't going to miss out on this one:) The recent collab with Fashion Foie Gras was genius! It was designed with bloggers in mind. But, I think that it's great for travel and for mommy's. So many little compartments you just have to be organized:) I haven't used the bag yet...it's too large for everyday for me. But, I'll be on a trip next month and you'll see pics of it on the trip. I noticed when I was searching the web that none of the people that nabbed it have shared pictures of them wearing it....I can't wait to share so stay tuned;)

P.s. I got this bag because of persistence. I was searching on eBay, calling Coach customer service everyday and communicating with the lovely designer and the Coach twitter team. I found out about the extra pieces because of the amazing twitter team letting me know there were a few. Can I just say their customer service is amaze!? They honored the 30% off that would have gotten when I tried purchasing the bag online a month ago. Plus, they sent it to me overnight free!!! Best customer service ever!!

Hello Willis from Coach

Well, it seems I keep falling in LOVE with Coach handbags recently...and this time it's not a limited edition Blogger handbag...but, it is something special.  A remix to the classic everyone already loved.  I'm loving the color choices below...but, there are more options.  The top right is so fun, but I'd probably go with the classic bottom left option.  I just love that color for everything:)  I think the tassel is also what does it for me.  I wonder how large the bag is...I do like my bags big.  Hopefully they will have the handbag in store so I can check it out.  I'm going to the local Coach store on Friday since I was told new items would be coming in, so I'm crossing my fingers:)  Which color would you get?

Gift Guide for the lady on the go: fashion blogger to mommy

Gift Guide for the lady on the go by fashionalities featuring a sling bag

I'd say this is perfect for a business woman, a blogger, or a mommy.  I want them all, so I have a feeling everyone will to:)  Happy Shopping!

1.  The iPad case that can be stored in your tote or held like a clutch by Rebecca Minkoff, $150.
2.  I love how this Michael Kors iPhone case is also a wristlet and you can store your credit cards with it.  This is genius for when you are at an evening event and don't want to carry a lot.  $78
3.  I'm always looking for cute bags that I can use for me and my baby as a diaper bag...I say this can also work for a blogger or business woman that is in a creative industry that doesn't want to carry something so businessy.  This would be a great carry on as well.  Filson for Lucky Denim Briefcase Bag, $329.
4.  I'm all about finding new ways to cover my fabulous iPad and I was excited when I found this style at Lucky Brand with the Navajo print I'm loving right now.  iPad Folio, $49.
5.  This tote is GENIUS by COACH!  It's their new collab with guest blogger #13, Emily Johnston of Fashion Foie Gras.  The bag is $558 and it's perfect for any lady on the go.  It's got compartments I've never seen on a bag before.  Get it while it's still available.  
6.  I just love the print on this iPhone case!  I feel like dressing my iPhone up is so much fun!  I have it out all the time, so why not enjoy it!  This case is from Lucky Brand for $35.

The items that caught my eye at COACH today

We were Christmas shopping today and I was surprised at the AMAZING prices and styles at COACH today...I'm always on an on again, off again relationship with COACH...but, I will always look at them as the first "designer" bag I ever owned.  Although I would never wear the coach labeled bags anymore...I really LOVE the new blogger styled bags...they catch my eye with the styling...they have a feeling of the Marc Jacobs edge without the higher price point...and the jewelry is starting to have the whimsical Kate Spade feel, once again without the high price point.  My sister-in-law even told me that they had sent her a 25% off coupon!  It can't get any better than that!  I've also decided I need to go to a Coach outlet...I remember I was digging a collection I saw during my babymoon in Hawaii in June.

Here are some of the items that caught my eye today:

kristin leather pleated satchel
$398
*I wish they had done this bag in taupe and gold...but, I guess I wasn't one of the bloggers to share my thoughts...yet:)

cambria tartan flat
On Sale for only $69

new poppy cupchain four strand bracelet
I'm in love...too bad this is so much at $228:)

COACH is taking off! Get them (the it-bags) while they are still around!

I have had two fab experiences with COACH this week...and I want both now!

Lexus RX 350
The interior is all done by COACH leather!

4 bloggers have done new COACH handbag designs and I want a few of them!  The scoop: there is a limited quantity of bags (I heard 200 each) and they will be sold exclusively online (except for the event at the New York store in June).  Get them while they are HOT!  On sale now!

This is my TOP PICK bag!  I can't believe that this bag (and all of the other blogger bags) has limited quantities available...which is ONLY 200~!  Plus, this is Emily Satchel for $500!!!  What to do?  I have to have it though...we shall see...

I thought I wanted the Kelly Drawstring Pouch...but, the Kelly ($395) is more classic and versatile I think...

Then, there's Karla's clutch ($398)...

And, if you are lucky and in NYC...I would LOVE for you to attend this event where you will meet the designers behind all of the bags!  I WISH!!!!!

I think I am in LOVE with the new Peach color bags at COACH right now...

Must-Have Weekend Bag:COACH!

Bonnie Cashin inspiration and design returns to Coach with the popping color mix and the external coin purse.  I have to have one of these bags for my weekend outings...I wanted the large one of course, but I can't do it for $1000...so, I will settle sadly for the $300 version...as soon as I can find a way to make that:)  I love the mixture of pink with orange...what to do...I want it all:)  This styling reminds me of the Long Champ Paris renderings that came out about three years ago...

Just What I Was Looking For...

I have been searching for a nude/tan pump for what seems like Forever!  I had a pair a couple of years ago that I wore out till they just had to be thrown away...but, after seeing Tracee Ellis Ross looking so fab in hers...of course, I had to have a pair...and, I finally found a perfect pair that fit the price and style that I needed and they were from Marshalls new, and improved shoe department...and funny enough, the brand is Jessica Simpson!  I keep telling people she does not fail to surprise people with her shoe business...she might be having problems in her relationships...but, she knows what she is doing with shoes...the cost, $39.99, the style, AMAZING!  Marshalls is now carrying brands like: Nine West, Coach, and Juicy Couture!  They are not letting us down girls...so, rush in for great prices and styles you might not find anywhere else!
